The gpio-keys supports the EV_ABS event type, but does not actually configure the input device to work with that mode. This patch configures the axis corresponding to button->code as being in the range [-1,+1]. This makes it possible to use gpio-keys to implement a hat (using the ABS_HAT0X /ABS_HAT0Y axes, with two GPIOs each with values -1/+1).
